CHURCH OF CHRIST
OTTA JOHNSON Minister
Although some are faithful read-
ers of the Book, there are many
who show a disregard of the Bi-
ble and could be classed as mod-
ernists. This is a form of infi-
delity, and is a spirit of disobed-
ience and rebellion toward God.
This teaching is popular, because
it permits people to do what they
want to do, regardless of morality
or spirituality.
You are invited to hear these
: vital subjects discussed Sunday:
1100 a. m—"Modernism."
i 8:00 p m.—"Drawing Near To
i God."
Why not come and bring your
family to our Bible Study classes
at 10 a. m,?
